they all have an agenda, and that is to make money. and money is subject to simple supply and demand, and people demand the worst news possible.

if you made an actual straight shooting news outlet it would be closed in a month, it would tank. no one wants factual reporting, not even as a fact checker for sensationalized reporting.


Definitely, they're no different than any for profit business driven by return, and i'm sure their trend analysis just dictates exactly what to put out. It's just a little depressing what is being released is what they're finding to be the most read.

Ron Desantis is basically impossible to attack. He is a fantastic leader with zero dirt on his name so far. He often uses the phrase, “fight the good fight”.

Well, what does the left do when they cannot find any dirt? Make stuff up of corse.

Google “Ron Desantis good fight” and instead of speeches where he explains what he is doing to better the lives of Floridians, now we get story after story about some show where he rapes a man.

Seriously…


Once you've seen the giant "ass cracks" on his forehead, you can never unsee it.

Yes, they're all shit with an agenda. I find Reuters to be the only worthwhile source except some more local sources for news that's relevant to the area.


Always been a fan of the British satire. The BBC has a fair news show......imo


Meanwhile.....lol. Trump really is an idiot.

Yeah BBC isn't too bad and I do read Al Jazeera from time to time while recognizing they have some bias, I still find they're good though.

if i had faith in fellow humans i'd be depressed, but long ago i just accepted almost everyone sucks ass. most people will lie to even themselves thinking they want good things, but they slurp down a twinkie with a coke in all aspects of life. media, financially, politically, etc. We've demanded this poor diet and blame those who gave it to us. we want to pretend we're grown but most people need an adult to come in and ban whatever makes them a terrible person, then they'll bitch.

You think the Democrats would learn from these failed character assassination attempts.

It blew up in their face for Kavanaugh.

"google a phrase which is about sexual assault and you find sexual assault"

what an odd thread...

you know if you google "ron desantis busses immigrants" you'll find? take a guess!

google "ron desantis refuses to lockdown florida" you'll find? take a guess!


Google has been sued quite a bit in recent years for putting their hand on the scale in treacherous ways to further certain political ends.

Putting R emails in spam folders, only sending vote reminders to certain people, etc. This is just another case with an annoyingly high level of plausible deniability. It clearly stinks to high heaven.

I'm an independent moderate and although some of his policies are fine, others are abominations borrowed from authoritarian countries, that are truly shocking to see deployed in America.

If he runs for POTUS, which I doubt he will, he will just end up being yet another too-far-to-the-right loser.

I'm not suggesting that he won't run in the primary, because doing so would further cement him in as the "King of the Swamp."

I'm not sure why people want to move to Florida and risk the homes they purchased being obliterated by the frequent hurricanes, but I know that DeSantis's style somehow meshes well with the people who think that's a good idea.

First post "Desantis impossible to attack" tone reminds me the "Trump is a fringe candidate who has no chance" 2016 one.

Donald will tell us things about him that won’t be very flattering.

Literally says the photo is dated pre graduation but keep spinning


I don't read democrat blog posts; we can trust that if the NYT thought anything was remotely damaging, they would have included it in the hit piece.

Quote (NYT)
Two former students, both women, remembered him attending at least two parties where alcohol was served, but they said that the parties took place after graduation and that they were not bothered


What "predatory" things did DeSantis do?
